Very nice Black-Black combination (to which I would consider adding the M-Performance black grills). About the specification, assuming you are determined to get the M50d instead of the 40d (only 0.6s slower on the 0-100km time) and looking to keep a fixed budget I would trade-off the active security package, comfort rear seats and 4-zone climate control to get the sunroof - you might appreciate the extra light with the black leather interior. Or, you could trade for the Active Cruise Control instead...but I would not touch the HK system as the stock system is a bit weak.

40d vs 50d very interesting argument ..... For me the 50d clinched it due to the tweaks it has and the £2k BMW UK contribution towards it. You're right very tough choice

Point I was making badly was the multi functional instrument panel is £510, the MF display with HUD is £255, I have this one although now I cant even see it on the BMW UK configurator. Worth a look because the £510 one is the way to IMO.

Spec looks good - have you got any details on the £2000 discount for m50d models? A few broker sites seem to be advertising 7% discounts on new - would the £2k be in addition (i.e. what sort of total discount have you been offered)?
I'm tempted by the panoramic sunroof and Mocha Nappa in Space Grey myself, and also not sure I want to spent that much on LED headlights no matter how amazing everyone says they are! I'm thinking going for adaptive xenons instead. HUD looks cool but £1k worth? I'm not convinced.. |

Adaptive xenons are awesome I've currently it them. The panoramic I've seen on a demo car it's incredible but not for me. And the Nappa Leather is sumptuous for sure but my wife doesn't like the colors

Nice one, I've waited since mid-june for today - just setting off now, got the Eurotunnel problems to face before I can collect my F16 M50D!

Only issues I had was in the first month but that was a software issue that the dealer fixed and now/again when the windscreen gets dirty the Driving Assistant gets a but touchy! Apart from that all good. I have my 19" Winter Wheels and tyres on now so bring on the bad weather! Not had anything to do with dealer since last summer which is good. We live slap bang between Dick Lovetts and Cotswold BMW so its a toss up between the two. Its easier to have it serviced from the dealer I bought it from, DL as they pick up/drop off the car. I bet you had MANY admiring looks with the M5D. Lucky s*d |

You'll definitely get looks Especially if you have it in black. I got mine in glacier silver and it adds a little incognito during the day. Nothing you can do about those eye-catching lights during the night though

I had to draw the line in the end with the F15 spec, otherwise perhaps I would have added the auxiliary heatin system - useful for today !! Glad your F15 is going well mate. I think with all sensor/camera systems they're prone to becoming useless when exposed to loads of dirt. My f10's ACC Sensor usually trips at least once a month especially in winter days.
